Archive of programs and data used to produce estimates appearing in
D.C. Wheelock and P.W. Wilson, "Are Credit Unions too Small?", Review
of Economics and Statistics, forthcoming.

This archive consists of this file (README.txt) and four directities:
1.  Data -- This directory contains the data used for estimation; see
            the file readme.txt in this directory for details.
2.  Fortran -- This directory contains the main fortran source used
               for the estimation of ray and expansion-path scale economies,
	       as well as bootstrapped confidence interval estimates.
	       The Makefile in this directory can be used to compile
	       executables, and contains details on the order in which
	       they must be run.  The Makefile also includes information
	       about libraries that must be linked to during compilation.
	       See also internal program documentation.
3.  Translog -- This directory contains the R program used to test the
                translog specification as described in the paper.
4.  Lib -- Library of routines called by code in the Fortran directory
           described above.  This directory includes a Makefile for
	   compilation.  See comments in the Makefile in the Fortran
	   directory for additional details.

Note that the work performed to produce the paper is computationally
intenstive; the fortran programs were run on the massively parallel
Palmetto cluster at Clemson University.
